Dog is not optional it is required. Whether you land it or not the dog is just happy with how hard you’re trying and knows you’ll get it. Doggo believes in you.

[@Dudehomiemanbra]

Absolutely critical skill to have when riding the city. This will get you out of a jam no prob.

[@Fb6.Nan0]

Especially them y’all curbssw

[@tinycmo]

I was skeptical, but the dog is not optional. So cute.

[@lewismason3743]

I started of with bmx so already sort of had the idea of how to hop, trouble lies within the size difference from a 21.5” BMX frame with 20” wheels to a 56cm track frame. Thanks for me tutorial man always a fun watch

[@joachimmacdonald2702]

I learned to bunny hop by first just doing little jumps off of speed humps and then eventually using the techniques - it’s a lot easier to learn if you start off on speed humps, where you basically have a ramp followed by a drop, so it’s really easy to get air.

[@andomare]

Do you hit it with rear wheel or just practice jumping over it?

[@joachimmacdonald2702]

andomare used the speed hump as a ramp to get air

[@rashb3994]

Heck yeah I need this for side walk curbs. This more practical than trick for me. I appreciate the tutorial sir.

[@oasisd347]

I borrowed my friends fixie its a Celt 2k17 with 70mm steel rims, Its kinda heavy for a fixie. After riding it my legs didn't feel the same, it was like i used some part of my muscles that I didn't know that they were there

Yessssssssssssssss more fixie vids

[@dr_skipwith]

I really needed this with my 2 inch bunny hop havin' ass.

[@theriderdtm8650]

Thanks for the tips ✌🏻

[@TiborBalek]

What is easier if you had only one leg. Pulling up with the front or pushing down with the back?(for skidding that is)

[@coopaloopmex]

LOL I rode next to Lucas doing a BunnyHop up a 1foot curb at about 20mph. Ive never seen anyone do it so smooth. He didn't even stop telling is story. Insane

[@CareFreeCommuting]

The lean forward towards the handle bars in anticipation for the counter pull up, really makes a ton of difference and is basically the only thing I didn’t hear here (maybe you said it, idk…but it’s the same on bmx, lean forward and yank back in one fluid movement).

[@FOADGang]

Good advice! I think of this as the "pre-load"

[@CareFreeCommuting]

@@FOADGang exactly, thanks for the lesson, helped a ton ✌️

Tnx dude... what about keo spin?

I've got pretty good bunny hop on my street mtb, but I simply can't raise my front wheel to the desired high, so what should I do?

[@romanpritchin7615]

Finaly! I've been waiting for it! Thanks a lot!

[@xenonzx4743]

Yes !!! I wanted it!!!

[@joshcevallos880]

For jumps and tricks, do you use a steel bike only. ?

[@1337Media]

my only question is what rimset are you using? and how wide is your tire?

[@selfactualizer2099]

make sure you get pedals with slanted ends so you can hook your foot easily, or install flipper

[@godismeme272]

Your channel is awesome!

[@manuelitotamse1944]

keo spin next tutorial ^_^

[@miguel_dudeee8149]

If I do this with aerospoke will there be a chance that i will break the wheel??

[@robprogrammer4549]

So you need to have those pedal straps in order to bunny hop cuz I can do it on a BMX but not on a fixie

[@ditolaksono]

🔥🔥🔥

[@omarnavarro6494]

You should make a video of how to wheelie backwards

[@daniellenicky2125]

Okay, I got a problem. I know how to bunny hop, with my right leg. That’s not the problem tho, whenever I try to hop onto a higher obstacle I CANT DO IT, like my legs don’t align and it’s always my left leg that goes forward which is hard for me to do a bunny hop on. Any tips to fix this?

[@DriftmastersJason]

There are zero tutorials on 180 Nose Pivots or Rockwalks. I figure out its a important beginner's trick and transition for many bigger things. Will you guys be kind enough to do a quick tutorial on it? thanks! @foadgang

[@bagaskrisdiyanto7538]

REVIEW FULLBIKE PLEASE!

[@dimasyrnikov4109]

Good job! How much better to have pressure on a tire doing such tricks?

[@hendrkweiss]

Way better your rims wont break and you wont get flats. Also its way easier to pull up

[@bishopdante]

Please watch Ali Clarkson's tutorial, he demoatrates the best way to avoid getting seat/frame up your chuff.

[@mikediscocyclomaniacs3833]

Thanks for the info. Gonna try that one.

[@gio5410]

do i need two straps for the bunny hop?

[@ErReexs]

Hey you think bunny hops are harder to do with a route bike and fixie? yes right? or is everything in my mind? :I

[@kaioberst1899]

Does handlebars adjust up and down?

[@mrmaktlt]

I have a problem that when I push the steering wheel forward, the front wheel lands first on the asphalt. So I broke one fork :)

[@jaketopia2652]

what are the advantages of a fixed gear bike over an mtb or single speed for tricks

[@depthsothenso813]

It isn't really an advantage for fixed gear bike. There's problems with cornering when your toes touches the front wheel, pedals constantly moving so if you lean enough it touches ground and potentially knock over the rider. Despite all those disadvantages, fixed gear riders found ways around it by doing fun trick or techniques demonstrated in the webtoon comic Wind Breaker and other videos. I would say that the advantage it has over other bikes is certain tricks can only be done by a fixed gear like the trick fish and chips and skid drifting.

[@leafninjazyt6173]

Can i do this on a hybrid bike?

[@rz6078]

It would be need lot of efort with my 49t 17t steel bike lol

[@seantamse563]

Next is keo spin plssss😀😀😀

[@genio5500]

Si no me equiboco, por saltar con una fixie o con cualquier bicicleta rigida (sin amortiguacion), dañas la orquilla.

[@akiwid3]

Solo la horquilla?

[@anthonidanowski9404]

old bmxer here trying to learn how to hop my tracklocross bike for obvious reasons. been hopping for like 20 years, can hop my bmx over entire picnic tables or handrails but i can barely hop up a curb on my fixie. what the hell? need to unlock this so i can actually be fast. my biggest problem is when i muscle through the akwardness and actually get 2 feet or more off the ground my landings are harsh and i feel like im destroying my bike.

[@cookiesbeats4915]

What kind of foot straps do u have?

[@Liuliuliuliuge]

nice video! but can you make a pt2 featuring a kievstyle seatpost ?

[@emilpettersson4509]

Fixed Gear noob here: Is it not dangerous to have your feet in straps if you crash and fall while practicing when learning?

[@Oscar-gy3yj]

What helmet is that I like the color

[@RadithSdifoArt]

Can you make a subtitle on your every videos? Im from Indonesia, when i turn on the subtitle on your videos that'a automatic and then the words when you said isn't same with the text. Thanks

[@drumist101]

How do you time the pedals to jump over objects? I’m always trying to jump stuff that comes up when I’m commuting but the pedals are never in the right place

[@vangerlio]

Great vidddddd pls do a how to keo?

[@fabianstraus4592]

could you do a tutorial for building up a beginner fixie

[@spacetoxicology123]

Good explanation

[@victorjuniorgarcia8434]

Does anyone know a good 26 inch wheel set for fgfs?

[@tooooii]

Best, how about ur progress on fgfs

[@jonebonebo204]

And how to calculate the position of the pedals in front of an obstacle?! When you have to jump, they are always in the wrong position in which you need to

[@FOADGang]

It comes more as you practice - you can start to anticipate how your pedals will be positioned.

[@burto3715]

Is it safe to try this with a carbon fork??

[@lesaintdemon]

anyone knows how matt reyes does his insane bunny hops, and while he is in the air he put the bike to either one of his side so he doesn't get punch on the balls, looks like magic and easy but it's not

[@caccadu12]

Nice shoes - what model are those?

i just simply cannot do it to my wheels so sorry

Ferdinand Neukirch I'm not assuming anything. it's just an opinion

[@travelandmusic1892]

its more easy with foot straps ?

[@rahasia7741]

yes

[@flawlessbutdysfunctional7787]

Do it with platform pedals with no straps

[@bobbydixon4484]

you must be multi tasking because he did do that in the video and you missed it.

[@flawlessbutdysfunctional7787]

Bobby Dixon he used the platform pedals with the velcro strapped on when he hopped. I know damn well without the strap he most likely would end up jumping off the pedals 8 times out of 10

[@bobbydixon4484]

bunny hop, turn your head, and land with your weight distributed evenly over the pedals. you wont get it the 1st few weeks but just keep practicing

[@ianmagnuson1626]

Why do a lot of stock fixed gears come with 48-16? That is the worst gear ratio because you only have one skid patch.
